Though Conda left the firm before taking the job at the head of Rubio's office, Rubio spokesman Alex Conant told Republic Report that Conda "had a stock buy out of his ownership units when he left, which is being paid out over time... [it was ] cleared by Senate Ethics back in 2011."

Still, the overlap sheds more light on the revolving door between K Street and the Capitol -- Conda founded the firm Navigators Global after serving as an aide in the Bush administration. He also served as a "senior economic policy adviser" for Mitt Romney's 2008 campaign for president, according to Politico.
